A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Amrita, and I’m a warm, responsible, and emotionally attuned individual excited to support a family as a full-time live-in nanny.

While new to professional nannying, I have a strong instinct for care, high emotional intelligence, and deep respect for a caregiver’s role in a child’s life. I’m nurturing, reliable, and proactive, and I value children’s emotional and physical well-being equally.

I’ve helped care for younger relatives and volunteered with children in educational settings. I bring structure, creativity, and compassion to every caregiving role, and I’m committed to creating a safe, joyful space for your children to thrive.

I’m happy to assist with household tasks, errands, meal prep, and routines. I aim to provide stability and become a trusted extension of your family.

I’m open to positions in NYC and nearby areas and am available to start in November. I do not smoke or drink, I’m pet-friendly, and of all my documents are ready.

Warmly,
Amrita

El Y. - Seeking Work in New York

Nanny El

New York, NY
$35/hr
Full-time
< 1 year experience

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is El!

I am 24 years old and I'm finishing university. I am getting my degree in engineering, as I have always loved science and math. But I also prefer to read, learn about history or philosophy and make art. I love traveling and want to experience more places, of course.
I have a niece, whom I take care of, and is off to school now. Getting to spend time with her never felt like work, and opened my eyes to the possibilities of becoming an au pair.

I am very clean and organized. And I am patient and understanding of anyone, especially children. If it was any job, I would still have the highest standards for myself, but I hope can convey that I want to do the best job for you too. I love to be efficient, and make everyone's life easier and more enjoyable. I have many technical skills, and also personable skills. I cook, play sport, clean, entertain, and can teach/tutor.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to discussing opportunities with you !
